Security updated to allow Access group switching
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When a member of two different access groups attempted to switch from one group to another, an "access denied" message occurred. This was traced to the use of BAC, and has been resolved by updating the pzProcessApplicationSwitch activity to use the pzEncryptURLActionString function to register the request.

Secure shared link generation added to scheduled reports
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When a scheduled report with a link was sent in email, clicking the link displayed an access denied message. To support this use, logic has been added to pytaskoutputprocessor in the pega-scheduledtask-reporting and pega-scheduledtask classes that will create a secure encrypted URL using the PublicLinkURL function.

Handling added for summary columns in Export to Excel
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.4
When a field has an aggregate function in Report Definition, the column alias changes and is not the same as the property name. The consequence is a mismatch between the result set column name and the property name from the property list created beforehand. This results in blank fields when using the "pxDownloadDataRecordsAsCSV" activity for Export to Excel. In order to support the export of summarized columns in Report Definition, an enhancement has been added that uses the column label as an alias for aggregate fields in the native SQL builder of the exportData API to form a map between the property name and the alias name and use it while iterating over the result set.

Non-template RDL time value handling updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
The Time value displayed on clipboard and data designer differed from the value shown on user work form when using a categorized repeating dynamic layer rendered in non-template mode with the Datetime control configured inside the RDL. This was traced to the Time string being considered as a date when using this configuration and calling the engine API, and has been resolved by ensuring this configuration will call the correct Time API instead so that the timeofday property value will be formatted correctly.

CalendarGadget updated to display events in Saudi locale
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When using the pxCalendar section with the locale setting ar_SA, the calendar was correctly converted to a Saudi calendar but the events which were showing in the English version of the calendar were not showing up in in the Saudi Calendar. This was caused by the CalendarGadget page not populating properly due to the localized Hijri calendar failing a datetime check that was looking for a Gregorian calendar with time in GMT format, and has been resolved by updating the when rule "pzShouldDisplayEvent " to use the proper function for the localized calendar.

Cache cleared before PDF generation to ensure proper fonts
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
The font File OCRAEXT.ttf added at location "/usr/local/tomcat/fonts" was not being picked when the PDF was generated via an agent execution. When the same activity was run manually, the font issue was sporadic. Investigation showed that when multiple apps use the same props directory but different fonts directories, the handling would sometimes cause one app to use another app's props file with the result of the improper fonts mapping. To resolve this, an update has been made to clear the cache before PDF generation starts to ensure the library reads the proper fonts.

Removed incorrect role from accessible filter logic
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When using JAWS, tabbing out from Close(X) and setting focus on the "filter by" section resulted in JAWS reading out "use arrows to move". This was not an available action, and has been resolved by removing role="listitem" from the RRFilters_logic.

Bulk actions check in preserves declare expression legacy setting
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When a declare expression was saved in legacy mode with "Whenever used" selected in change tracking, performing a bulk check-in of the rule caused the expression to default to the new forward chaining method. This did not occur when using a direct check-in. Investigation showed this was caused by the check-in page holding a legacy value before the step execution, and has been resolved by adding a pre-save activity before the validation activity that will restore the .pyIsLegacy value from .pyExpressionTypeSelector, if set.
